Ice cream flavors - cheap and plentiful
Breanna H.

Literally some of the most creamy scoops I have ever had! Some very tasty and fresh ice cream! At the end of a hot summer day, what do you want? That's right, ICECREAM. Even writing this review makes me want to go grab a couple scoops! But we were really craving some home grown local icecream, no Dairy Queen , no baskin robbins. We wanted to go where the locals go! Now this place was tucked away a little bit from the city center, I wish it was closer and more easier to find as it literally looks like it's attached to the factory it comes from. But hey, at least we know it's fresh! There was a long line, it was July 4th so I suppose that was the reason. We were greeted by the line and the sign with TONS of flavors. Anything you could ever want they had, I got my super man icecream and my boyfriend got a cookie dough. Both were amazing. Like I said sooo creamy:)! The staff was friendly, the decor was cow themed as you could see and they had historical facts about Jilberts around the store with other things you could buy such as milk, ice cream cartons and souvenirs. All in all, this is the best place in Marquette to get icecream and maybe even the U.P :)

Jilbert Dairy was a great experience! Great unique options and flavors! I got the blueberry waffle cone and it was delicious. We also got birthday cake ice cream and it was good. It is receiving a 4 star just because you are unable to test out any of the flavors unfortunately.

Large variety of choices. They don't do samples, which is hard when you have never had some of these flavors. I also got sprinkles that I was charged $.75 for and they were stale. The ice cream we got was good though! My sister got whip cream and it was blue, very fun.

Yuuuum!!! So glad this place was recommended to us! Leaving Sugarloaf we were looking for a place for ice cream not too far away, and this place fit the bill! Place was packed, and there was only one person working, but she was cranking through people, so our wait wasn't too long. My husband ordered the Great Lakes Pothole, and I got the Blueberry and waffle cone ice cream both on waffle cones and both flavors were ridiculously delicious!! We're definitely going back tomorrow!!!

This is another place I used to visit as a kid. My trip home took me to a bunch of places like that and I had fun showing my husband all the places I loved as a kid! Jilbert's was no exception. I used to visit with my aunt and get my blue ice cream. I love cows and the fact that they had a giant cow for you to take photos with made my dreams come true. It defiantly seemed bigger when I was a kid but it's still pretty big! There's a nice seating area around the cow We went inside and instead of my usual as a kid, my tastes have changed a bit, I went with the coconut and chocolate one. YUM!! This combination has been a favorite of mine lately and this was so tasty. I enjoyed my ice cream next to a giant cow just like when I was a kid and then we jumped in the van and headed home. I love this place!

Peanut butter Mackinac Island fudge

Still dreaming of that peanut butter Mackinac Island fudge ice cream. Jilbert's is Michigan ice cream, and this location is "headquarters", so to speak. It looks rather industrial when you pull up because it's where the semis load up and where they process the milk, but inside the little red barn building is the scoop shop! Five stars for the ice cream! Jilbert's had about 20-25 flavors out, and it's creamy and delicious. Mackinac Island fudge is a classic. Sit outside and enjoy your treat on a picnic table under the enormous (like, a story high) plastic cow! Four stars for the experience. The service was just meh and not super friendly. And I just can't get over the industrial feel - I want to be in a brightly colored, whimsical scoop shop! Imagine if they transformed the inside with cow-printed wallpaper and pops of color...

A cool Jilbert employee.

See all

Amaretto Cherry Mackinaw Island Fudge is amazing. Best ice cream I've ever had.
